I don't know the percentage but National Windscreens did the job, from the scale they had pictured I chose the second last darkest option,  one up from limo black.

Don't blame you at all.  At the start of the year I was seriously considering changing to an A3 S-line TDI but though it ticked most of the 'head' boxes it didn't really do anything for the heart.  The replacement was put on hold while I sold my flat and bought a house.

Then I was away offshore for 6 weeks and when I came back I 'rediscovered' the GTI.  It was like driving it for the first time again and it is a fantastic car.  It just does everything so well.  Convinced me that I don't think I could live with a car that only makes sense to the head.

I am eying up some S3 sportbacks now though  :ashamed:

The lady buying yours will be gutted but you've got to think about yourselfn :happy2:

What the difference in the sportback models mate? I'm looking at these myself...

The main difference is the two extra doors!  It looks like a mini avant ...

I think the 3 door looks a bit better but i cant live without the practicality of a 5 door.

I wanted limo black at first but it makes reversing at night a pain in the butt!

I went for 35% on the rear two windows and 20% on the rear windscreen but it's too dark for me it looks like limo black and to chavvy on a reflex silver. Back in tomorrow to swap for 35% just hope my heater elements survive  :scared:
